Transvenous Phrenic Nerve Stimulation is Safe and Effective in Patients with Heart Failure and Cheyne-stokes Respiration
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Cardiac Failure"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cardfail.2020.09.202
Abstract: Introduction The most common type of central sleep apnea (CSA) breathing pattern in patients with heart failure (HF) is Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR). CSR manifests as a cyclical pattern of apnea and hyperventilation, with absence of… read more here.
